EASY Apple Butter in Crockpot -The smell of fall

Today I have been making one of my favorite EASY recipes (actually I should tell you right now that I will never post a hard recipe - it's just not me.) I also ADORE using my crock pot, she never let's me down, ever. (OK unless the ceramic bowl breaks because I chopped in the crock pot too hard, but that's another story)

CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER

Here are the simple instructions:

Slice up apples or pears

(using mis-shaped, fallen pears or apples from your own tree is perfect!)

Delish! I made and canned apple butter once about four years ago after we went to greenbluff for peaches and found out it wasn't peach season, so we thought we'd pick a "few" apples. We brought home 25 pounds. That's a lot of stinkin' apple butter. This makes me want to do it again! Although I will use sugar.... lots and lots of sugar. Don't tell Isobel!

To be honest with you I'm not sure about safety. I sterilize the jars hot in my dishwasher and pull them right out and fill them with the super hot apple butter (straight from the Crockpot) I put the lids on and make sure they seal. I am pretty sure the correct way to do this would be to seal them in a water bath like you would a canning process. For me, I've never had any issue and I don't put them right in the refrigerator but like I said, if you wanted to be extra safe I would do a traditional canning waterbath process. Hope that helps!

I have made this and LOVE it! I have given it away to everyone and they LOVE it... I currently have a batch in my crock pot right now :) but I was wondering how big your crock pot is? I have been adjusting down since my crock pot looked smaller but today, I was writing the directions down in my "love and make again and again" recipe book and thought I better be sure of the amounts :) Also, I do can mine in a water bath just to be sure that all the time and yummy ingredients don't go to waste! It is super easy and makes me feel better opening a jar 11 months after it was canned!! Thanks so much for the tut!

Thanks for taking the time to tell us how you liked the butter!! I believe that crock pot was a 6 Qt (I have a new one now, broke that other one!) You are really smart to do it in the water bath. If I can find all my canning stuff I'll probaly do that next time.
